Counseling is the best thing my husband and I have done in a long time. And if he didn't go I would go without him because it really helps you. We need a person that listens to us and can give us rational assistance, helps us to understand our own behavior as well. Even the most perfect people you know benefit by letting out concerns that you have to someone who is professional and not partial to your situation. Go and relax, you are trying to improve things.

It's really easy to try and manipulate the counsellor to one side of the story or the other. Try to avoid this or it'll all fail.
I had to stop counselling because it just frustrated me to all ends of the earth how she and my stbxWW focussed on me and my feelings... but never on her... unless it was to empathize and commiserate. I'd leave more determined than ever to end everything. Finally, I quit all together and started snowboarding.
Good luck.
